SUMMARY:Luis Guenel Soto and Ebana Garin Coronel: Minga of a House in Ruins
DESCRIPTION:This performance\, part of the Perform Sharjah performance programme\,  centres around the Chilean tradition of ‘minga’ – the communal act of moving an entire house\, seen as a gesture of collective labour and shared resilience. Through three interwoven stories\, Minga of a House in Ruins delves into the meaning of home and whether we can build an alternative future out of the ruins of a world seemingly coming to an end. In this intimate encounter\, ruins are not simply remnants of destruction but living spaces of resistance\, where community\, imagination and care come together to affirm life in the shadow of collapse. Through movement\, sound and silence\, the work transforms decay into possibility\, showing how bodies and voices can rebuild\, even if only for a fleeting moment\, what has been lost …

SUMMARY:Björn Again
DESCRIPTION:If you can’t have the original\, the greatest hits provided by their best tribute band will do nicely. Created and founded in 1988 in Melbourne\, Björn Again has clocked up 5\,000 performances in 72 countries over 31 years; it’s a gently satiric light-hearted ABBA spoof\, but boy the songs are good too …

SUMMARY:Eureka Day
DESCRIPTION:Eureka Day Elementary School is an institution that prides itself on ensuring every voice is heard\, and every child is welcome — that is\, until an outbreak of mumps forces people in the community to reconsider the school’s liberal vaccine policy. As cases rise\, the school’s Executive Committee of well-meaning parents and teachers fall apart as their progressive paradise crumbles and meetings are derailed by parental hysteria … \nThis razor-sharp comedy by American playwright Jonathan Spector has had successful recent runs on Broadway and in the West End.  It’s laugh-out-loud funny\, but there’s a message inside: even the most enlightened communities are just one epidemic away from complete turmoil. \nNot a bad choice for The Junction’s tenth anniversary. It’s directed by Akansha and Gautam Goenka\, founders of The Junction. \nThere are further performances on 22 and 23 November. \n

SUMMARY:Xala: dir Ousmane Sembène (1975)
DESCRIPTION:This Senegalese satirical comedy\, written and directed by Ousmane Sembène as an adaptation of his own novel\, finds a corrupt government official cursed with crippling erectile dysfunction upon the day of his marriage. He comes to realise it’s connecting with his embezzling\, and it can be cured only by having the lowly of society spit on him … Adeptly combining elements of African folklore and popular cinema\, Sembène has produced a hilarious\, caustic satire of political corruption under an inept patriarchy. \nScreens as part of a monthly film programme in Efie’s Rekord Gallery tracing the intertwined histories of African and Arab Liberation Cinema: “through a carefully curated selection of films\, the series interrogates how revolutionary aesthetics\, political struggle\, and the diasporic imagination have shaped\, and continue to shape\, the language of cinema across continents”. It’s organised with Bootleg Griot\, an independent public library project currently ensconced in the Rekord Gallery that is aimed at improving access to literature and print media – especially from writers and collectives of African descent.

It’s a group show for work by Alessandro Montalbano (Italy)\, Valeriya Isyak (Russia)\, Hadil Moufti (Saudi Arabia)\, Elnaz Javani (Iran/USA) and Alyazya Almansoori (UAE).

SUMMARY:Art Thinking: The Intricacies of Corporate and Brand Patronage
DESCRIPTION:What do Louis Vuitton\, Marina Abramović and BMW have in common? According to cultural strategist Vadim Grigoryan in his newly published book\, Art Thinking: Art\, Meaning and Brand Leadership\, they are all players in the evolving relationship between the art world and brands – where creativity meets commerce and where brands increasingly function as cultural agents. \nThe book invites readers to explore the intersection of art\, luxury\, and fashion brands\, examining the role of brands as cultural agents and the potential of art to serve as a bridge between meaning and management. It offers practical guidance for developing strategic art initiatives\, managing artist collaborations\, and understanding the artistic process behind creativity. \nAs part of the launch for Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi’s new Executive Education Program on ‘Art and Luxury’\, focusing on luxury branding in the Gulf countries\, Vadim Grigoryan will introduce his book and discuss the role of art and culture in building brands today – with emphasis on the importance of high-level academic programmes as an added value for management in the luxury sector.

SUMMARY:Hussain Jamil: Refracted Life
DESCRIPTION:In this exhibition\, Jamil presents a new body of work that explores how we see ourselves — and how we are seen — in an ever-changing world. Working with hand-formed polished steel wall sculptures\, woven metal mesh\, and mirrored sculptural surfaces\, he creates artworks that bend\, fracture\, and recompose the viewer’s reflection.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Gail Spaien: Arranging Flowers
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural show of Taymour Grahne’s new project space in Dubai features the Maine-based painter\, the recipient of numerous fellowships amd now (after 30 years as faculty at the Maine College of Art and Design) a full time artist. Her wprk is precise\, full of strong colour and redolent of time and place yet at the same time slightly mysterious – and often providing what the accompanying text calls “an asymmetrical chorus line of color and texture” . Recommended. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Whispers of Play
DESCRIPTION:A group show for three young Japanese artists that celebrates the playful sensibility at the heart of contemporary Japanese expression – “a sensibility that transforms familiarity into wonder\, nostalgia into dream” as the gallery has it. \nThese artists have used Japanese pop culture and anime icons as emotional textures rather than cultural symbols. Each work becomes a quiet act of translation\, between inner and outer worlds\, between collective memory and personal reverie. Yukari Nishi constructs scenes of estrangement and longing in a dreamlike vision of mid-century America with faceless\, non-human figures and cinematic settings. Koichi Yairi creates collages with irregularly shaped canvases and translucent layers to translate fragments of daily life into abstract narratives. NANA SAIAKU’s works recall the fragility of emotion and the resilience of youth. \nTo 16 December.

SUMMARY:NOMAD Abu Dhabi
DESCRIPTION:A boutique alternative to the conventional art fair\, NOMAD is a peripatetic showcase for collectible design and contemporary art that pops up in “extraordinary architectural settings”. Its next iteration is NOMAD Abu Dhabi\, to be held in the decommissioned Terminal 1 at Zayed International Airport (closed to the public for years\, the terminal was designed in the late 1970s by the Paris CDG architect Paul Andreu). \nThe fair’s format emphasises dialogue\, architecture\, and site-specificity over conventionally commercial display\, creating a distinctive experience for collectors and design enthusiasts that makes a change from the usual art fair (such as you will find down the road at Abu Dhabi Art). Featured are 16 galkleries offering ‘collectible design’\, among them AP Room (Dubai)\, Nilufar (Milan)\, Gallery FUMI (London)\, Galerie BSL (Paris)\, Galerie Gastou (Paris)\, and Mondavilli Scagliola (Milan). There are two galleries under the ‘modern and contemporary art’ heading – Robilant+Voena (London\, Milan\, Paris\, New York) and  Leila Heller (Dubai\, New York). Leila Heller will have some of Dale Chihuly’s gorgeous blown glass on show. \nThere are also 19 ‘special projects’. They include A collaboration between Iwan Maktabi and Orient 499\, exploring craft and material heritage; an installation by Lebanese collective SUPER LOOP\, which made its debut at this year’s Milan Design Week 2025 with a collection that reinterpreted traditional Middle Eastern craft techniques; and a showcase by Irthi Contemporary Crafts Council on Emirati craftsmanship. \nNOMAD is open 20-22 Nov\, 1-9pm. It’s by invitation only; you can apply here. \nAbove: Abu Dhabi Airport’s Terminal 1 in its working heyday

SUMMARY:Rigoletto
DESCRIPTION:This is St Petersburg Opera’s signature production of one of opera’s greatest works\, reimagined with striking originality by the celebrated Russian director Yuri Alexandrov. Rigoletto remains one of Verdi’s most enduring masterpieces: a story of love\, betrayal\, and revenge told through some of the most celebrated music in the operatic repertoire; Alexandrov’s version transforms the jester from the familiar hunchback into a sharp\, cunning figure whose torment lies hidden behind his courtly disguise – a haunting portrayal of cruelty\, corruption\, and vulnerability. \nThis lavish\, costumed spectacle otherwise treats the classic with due reverence. There’s a second performance tomorrow (20 November). \nAs with most shows at this venue\, there’s a 20% discount on food and drinks at the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray.

SUMMARY:Voices of Two Worlds: Emirati & French in Harmony
DESCRIPTION:Emirati opera singer Fatima Alhashmi – known for her unique interpretations of French opera infused with Arabic lyrics – is joined for this concert by French pianist Marie Sontag (who has described crossing paths with Alhashmi as “a moment of human and artistic inspiration that still echoes within me”). Their repertoire ranges through classical and romantic opera\, plus vintage French songs “as though turning the pages of a cherished album of memories\, to revive the poetry and emotion of a bygone era” …

SUMMARY:Abu Dhabi Art
DESCRIPTION:The 16th edition of Abu Dhabi Art will take place from 19 to 23 November\, as usual at Manarat al Saadiyat. The fair element has more than 140 galleries from 37 countries\, by far the largest number to date – last year’s edition had 102 galleries. And it also means Abu Dhabi Art has overtaken local rival Art Dubai (the March edition of Art Dubai had around 120\, about the same as in 2024). \nMohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak\, chair of DCT Abu Dhabi\, described the fair as “the region’s most influential platform for art and ideas\, a cultural moment where the UAE’s pioneering spirit engages with the global art community”. He may well be right; and as well as the record number of galleries\, Abu Dhabi Art – which from next year will become Frieze Abu Dhabi as a result of a deal with the Frieze art fairs group – continues to promote what its director Dyala Nusseibeh calls “under-represented art histories … From pioneers of the Peruvian Amazon\, Venezuela and Brazil to modernists from Türkiye\, artists from Nigeria’s Osogbo art movement\, Khaleeji trailblazers\, modern artists from North Africa and leading artists from China\, this year’s fair resonates with the globally impactful\, museum-led vision shaping Saadiyat Island’s cultural identity”. \nThe fair itself is organised into five principal sectors: \nModern & Contemporary: for established galleries (who have been operating for at least seven years) with curatorial framework for booth presentations. This is the main section\, with 55 galleries showing. \nSpecial Projects: up to three artist presentations by individual galleries who have been in business for at least three years – more than 50 of these. \nEmerge: for artworks priced under $3\,000 – seven participants this year. \nBidaya: for emerging galleries (operating for less than three years) who are first-time participants. There are three exhibitors. \nFocus: galleries invited to participate with specific artists chosen by a guest curator. This where you will find the Collectors Salon for collectable non-art works; a section for Modern Türkiye\, with three galleries showcasing rarely seen works by modern masters; a Nigeria Spotlight featuring seven galleries from the country; and the Gulf Region focus\, with a good selection of local galleries \nBut as well as the conventional art fair\, Abu Dhabi Art places a lot of emphasis on its public engagement programme – installations\, commissions\, exhibitions\, talks and events throughout the year. Worth catching: \n Beyond Emerging Artists This programme commissions new work from three emerging artists in the UAE. The 2025 edition is curated by Issam Kourbaj\, who has been mentoring Alla Abdunabi\, Salmah Almansoori and Maktoum Marwan Al Maktoum as the three participants this year. \nCommunity Partners Exhibition Since 2018\, Abu Dhabi Art has invited community partners to participate in the fair through thematic exhibitions that foster cultural dialogue and social impact. For 2025 ADMAF is collaborating with Studio Salasil\, a future-focused curatorial studio\, to transform the Community Partners exhibition into a vibrant platform for artistic and cultural dialogue. \nArt + Tech Launched back in 2017\, the Art + Tech programme at Abu Dhabi Art connects students from universities across the UAE with artists working at the intersection of creative expression and emerging technologies. This year’s programme is led by Ahmed Al Attar\, an Emirati robotics engineer and founder of art and technology studio REALIITY. Drawing inspiration from traditional Sadu patterns\, the project will be reimagining heritage through a kinetic projection installation that explores pseudo-randomness\, cultural symbolism\, and technological transformation. \nAnd this year for the first time Abu Dhabi Art will officially feature digital art via its Digital Art Partner\, reimagined – “a new initiative based in the UAE focused on driving adoption of technology and blockchain in the arts”. Its curated selection showcases seven artists with works built on technical and conceptual innovation\, engaging critically with digital formats and pushing creative boundaries; alongside the exhibition\, reimagined is hosting a program of talks and panels discussions with artists\, curators\, and art professionals. \nAbu Dhabi Art is open daily from 2am to 9pm. Complimentary guided tours in both English and Arabic will be available. \nAbove: Leander Herzog\, INFINITE GARDEN (in the Digital Art exhibition)

SUMMARY:Al Burda Exhibition: The Shape of Meaning
DESCRIPTION:As a complement to the Nja Mahdaoui retrospective in the main gallery at BFAF\, this exhibition presents loans from the Ministry of Culture’s Al Burda exhibitions from 2008 to 2023. Al Burda was an annual exhibition where contemporary artists engaged with the cultural and semantic power of the written word while experimenting with form and medium; this exhibition provides a dialogue between calligraphy as abstract form and as linguistic tradition\, showing how artists today both inherit and reinvent tradition and highlighting how they can be both custodians and innovators \nThe exhibition is accompanied by a programme of calligraphy workshops and educational events highlighting the history of Arabic script. \nTo 25 January. \nAbove: Taj AlSer Hassan (2016)

DESCRIPTION:Koushaji’s exhibitions continues his exploration of memory\, resilience\, and the human condition with a new body of work that “reflects on a world shaped by displacement\, conflict\, and uncertainty\, yet illuminated by fleeting moments of beauty and strength”. His distinctive visual language of layered strata provides a richly layered canvas through which Koushaji weaves symbols of cultural memory such as lemons\, pomegranates\, and flowers as metaphors of endurance and renewal; at the heart of his compositions stands the figure of the woman\, embodying continuity\, tenderness\, and quiet power. \nTo 12 January. \nAbove: Besher Koushaji\, Untitled (2025)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Thomas Dillon: The Raw and the Cooked
DESCRIPTION:This is Dillon’s first solo exhibition in Dubai; and it is claimed to be a milestone in the artist’s career\, featuring a body of work conceived and created specifically for this show. \nIn Claude Lévi-Strauss’s influential text of the same name\, the author identified binary oppositions – nature and culture\, raw and cooked – as fundamental tools by which societies organise meaning. For Dillon\, it is more than a reference; it offers a conceptual lens through which his paintings may be read – Dillon feels he is testing the limits of painting as a medium that can bridge instinct and intellect\, gesture and structure\, matter and form. As the gallery puts it\, “Dillon’s works remind us that art continues to operate like myth: as a space where chaos is given form\, where the elemental becomes symbolic\, and where human thought – raw and cooked alike – finds its most resonant expression”.
